Even if it's just for a moment I'm gonna burn so bright and so red, I'd dazzle everyone. And all that'll be left is pure white ash...

Yeah, I've been going twenty-four rounds now.

About to go to round twenty-five.

Man, my body is beat to shit.

Had more black eyes than can count.

My body felt different in round thirteen.

Brain rattled in round nineteen.

My opponent, I swear, keeps changing.

He'll throw body blows, jabs, hooks.

He got in a few head butts when the ref

was not looking. Evil SOB.

He thinks he has me on the ropes huh;

He knocked me down quite a lot.

Was almost counted out a few times

and I could see my life flashing before me.

But he should know.

I dont quit.

Throw your worst at me.

Because if this is all you got;

it's only a matter of time

before I knock you out.

This isn't about titles

or about money.

This is about standing up.

Fighting for those who I've lost.

Fighting for those who you

have knocked out.

So go ahead...do your worst.

Hell, we can even fight in the dark.

Because even in darkness,

I will be the light. A light,

who will shine for those

who are afraid of you.

Ring the bell again,

lets go another round.

The gloves are off big guy,

you are going down.
